Tom McCall & The Vortex

Written by reporter Sarah Mirk and illustrated by Daniel Duford, the

his political controversies – including his role in the Vortex Festival,
a state-sponsored rock festival modeled after Woodstock and Altamont.

Duford is a Hallie Ford Fellow, is known for his “Green Man of
Portland” illustrations on Portland’s MAX Green Line and is a professor
at Pacific Northwest College of Art.

Mirk is online editor at Bitch Magazine and was formerly a reporter for Portland Mercury
